1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:10,200 It's time for a Riley upgrade. For some 2 00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:12,880 reason, I've been recruited to try on a 3 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:17,840 exoskeleton from Hypershell, the Hypershell Pro X. And actually, it kind 4 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:21,840 of makes sense because I am the person in the office who probably does the 5 00:00:19,359 --> 00:00:26,519 least amount of physical activity. Uh, so this is perfect for me. It's supposed 6 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:31,760 to make you stronger while using less effort. Uh increasing 7 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:35,840 endurance mostly in the legs. If I'm have to do anything with the arms, I you 8 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:40,559 know that's that's a different that's a different thing. But this is uh going to 9 00:00:38,079 --> 00:00:44,559 help with my running with cycling all the things that I don't do. So thanks to 10 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:49,360 Hypershell for sponsoring this video so that I can become a better version of 11 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:52,000 myself maybe. But in order to actually upgrade myself, first I have to take it 12 00:00:50,719 --> 00:00:55,719 out of the box. So let's see what's in here. 13 00:00:53,800 --> 00:01:03,199 Ah. Ooh. Nice. Okay. So, it the the 14 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:06,080 exoskeleton folds into sort of a like 15 00:01:03,199 --> 00:01:11,040 gaming laptop sized uh form here, which is pretty nice. And 16 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:17,520 it's actually not too heavy. Apparently, it's 1.8 kg, which is about 4 lb. Oh, 17 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:22,720 wow. And it just kind of unfolds like that. I can imagine myself in there. I 18 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:27,119 can imagine what it's going to do to me. Okay, here we have one of the two 19 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:32,200 batteries. I believe the other one's already installed in there that will 20 00:01:28,799 --> 00:01:35,759 provide 800 watts of power to the 21 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:37,840 Hypershell e assist system. Uh, that's 22 00:01:35,759 --> 00:01:43,439 going to make me a better human being. In the bottom here, okay, user manual. 23 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:49,600 There's instructions that I'm sure are important. And then right here there's a 24 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:51,439 USB charging cable so you can recharge 25 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:57,759 the batteries after you plug them in. And that is it for the case. So let's 26 00:01:53,439 --> 00:01:59,680 look at the exoskeleton itself. So we've 27 00:01:57,759 --> 00:02:07,119 got the kind of waist part here with some padding on it. And then these leg 28 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:09,759 attachments that rotate like that. We 29 00:02:07,119 --> 00:02:16,040 have here there's a USBC port and directly under that is the battery. And 30 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:22,319 it comes off like that. And then you to swap it out and 31 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:28,800 reload. Boom. Oh, that felt good. You can reload yourself with this. We got 32 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:32,560 these clips here on the back that I'm 33 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:35,120 guessing are used for adjustments of 34 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:40,800 some kind. We'll figure that out when I put it on my butt. And on the right side 35 00:02:38,239 --> 00:02:44,560 here is the control button which you're going to use to enable and disable the 36 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:51,120 assistance and switch between the various modes which we will look at 37 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:53,360 after we download the app as this 38 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:56,879 special little thing told me to do. And I always do what I'm told. So oh I 39 00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:01,040 didn't even notice this before. There are washing instructions on here. So I 40 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:06,000 guess you can just throw this whole thing in the and don't do that. Um 41 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:11,280 apparently there are screws here. Here. Can you see those? So, you can unscrew 42 00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:13,280 the fabric part and then do not throw it 43 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:17,440 in the washing machine. It says wipe to clean, dry flat. So, it's still not But, 44 00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:20,959 you know, you never know until you try. So, don't do it. Okay. So, I've 45 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:26,239 downloaded the app. I've logged in and now it's asking me to put in my body 46 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:29,040 index to evaluate my suitability for 47 00:03:26,239 --> 00:03:32,879 this product and recommend the leg pull adjustment position. Okay. So, I'm going 48 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:37,840 to put my data in here. Okay. So, according to my measurements, it says 49 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:41,920 that I should adjust the hip levers to position 50 00:03:39,239 --> 00:03:46,720 three. Oh, there we go. Okay. Tight hip cl buckle up hip belt. Okay. Well, it's 51 00:03:44,799 --> 00:03:51,360 happening. We're putting it on. We're doing it. Buckle up the hip belt. Okay. 52 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:55,040 I think I got to loosen these. Okay. I already feel like I'm kind of in a 53 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:59,599 sci-fi situation where I'm like I've been contracted to to work the asteroid 54 00:03:58,159 --> 00:04:05,959 minds and they have to put on your equipment to Except it's not like that at all. I'm just going to exercise. 55 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:14,560 Okay, so that goes there. Loosen a bit. And then tighten or 56 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:17,560 put that back in. Clip it. Okay. Yep. 57 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:20,160 Wow. I already feel the power. It's not 58 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:22,960 on. The placebo effect is going to be an issue for me. You could have got You 59 00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:27,759 could have got somebody who's more used to moving their physical body around in 60 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:33,520 space to do this and they'd be already done the video by now. Okay, I think I'm 61 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:41,240 strapped in properly. This feels good. I don't feel 62 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:44,040 weird. I mean, it's a little unusual. 63 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:50,080 Ready? Hypershell activate. Okay, I did. Whoa. Whoa. It 64 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:54,160 just did something. Something just happened. Yeah, it's like a It's like 65 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,320 reacting to my 66 00:04:55,320 --> 00:05:01,840 movements. This is This is what happened last time. It's already kind of like 67 00:04:59,919 --> 00:05:06,639 following my movements. Like when I move my leg, it kind of wants to continue the 68 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:11,199 motion a little bit. What I'm going to do here is move my leg back and forth 69 00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:16,639 twice. Any other anything that happens after that is 70 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:20,880 assisted. See, like it's it's I can stop 71 00:05:16,639 --> 00:05:22,720 it, but I can also let it control me. 72 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:27,759 Search my device. Do it. Searching nearby devices. There it is. And no one 73 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:31,639 else has a hypershell. Okay, I'm in eco mode now and it's 74 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:38,440 telling me to walk. Take a stroll in a safe area to 75 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:44,639 feel the power adjusted to your pace. I feel it. I feel it. It's moving 76 00:05:41,919 --> 00:05:49,199 my legs. So, that was eco mode. And now you can single click the control button 77 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:52,160 to enter transparent mode, which makes it sound like a noise cancelling 78 00:05:50,639 --> 00:05:56,240 headphones mode where it just kind of like pauses the active function, which 79 00:05:54,880 --> 00:06:01,440 is what it's doing. So, it's just going to kind of like turn off the assistance. 80 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:06,080 And now I'm in transparent mode. Yeah, it's all me. This is all me. I'm still 81 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:09,199 very much myself. And when I activate it, that's going to be upgraded, Riley. 82 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:14,800 All right. Now, it's telling me to go into hyper mode. Press and hold for 2 83 00:06:11,919 --> 00:06:17,479 seconds. The red LED means we're in hyper mode, 84 00:06:17,479 --> 00:06:26,039 baby. Providing dynamic power for intense activities. All right. Whoa. 85 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:28,680 Yeah, that's stronger. Whoa. Whoa. Wow. 86 00:06:26,039 --> 00:06:34,880 Yeah. Okay. All right. Yeah, we're moving. Oh, I could do anything now. I 87 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,880 could do any 88 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:44,400 sport. It kind of keeps moving for a second. You see that? It's alive. Within 89 00:06:40,639 --> 00:06:46,000 eco and hyper mode, there are various 90 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:50,199 power levels. So, I'm in eco mode right now, but if I double click, it goes up 91 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:56,720 to another power level again and again. And so now I'm on 92 00:06:54,319 --> 00:07:00,319 the fourth power level of eco mode, which is okay. Yeah, that's pretty 93 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:05,280 strong cuz I was only on power level number one of hyper mode. Oh my gosh. I 94 00:07:03,599 --> 00:07:09,720 don't even want to know. Let's go into hyper mode. Oh, and I'm Okay, so it keeps the 95 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:15,039 power level between the modes. So this should 96 00:07:13,039 --> 00:07:23,360 be this should be very strong. Whoa. Yeah. Oh yeah. Oh my goodness. Whoa. 97 00:07:19,759 --> 00:07:25,680 I could run. I could run across country. 98 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:28,960 I could do anything. I could do anything. All right. Okay. Oh, you want 99 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:34,240 to go back down? You want less power? Triple click to go down a 100 00:07:31,639 --> 00:07:40,800 level. There we go. You know what? I'm going to keep it at power level two on 101 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:42,800 eco mode for now because eco mode will 102 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:47,240 have the best trade-off between battery and performance. Okay. Okay. So, to 103 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:52,800 power off, you have to double click and hold, and then we're off. Okay. All 104 00:07:50,639 --> 00:07:55,680 right. I feel like I'm kind of getting the hang of this, so I'm just going to 105 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:59,120 take this for a little rip. I'm going to just run that way and run back, and I'll 106 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,520 report my findings. Are you ready? Oh, yeah. I can't 107 00:08:02,199 --> 00:08:05,199 wait. 108 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:12,400 Whoa. I should run normally. I was like running on my tiptoes. I don't think 109 00:08:10,319 --> 00:08:16,479 you're in the right mode. I'm in eco mode. I can feel it. It's helping me. 110 00:08:14,639 --> 00:08:21,919 Okay, so for comparison, I'm in transparent mode now. There's no power. 111 00:08:18,879 --> 00:08:21,919 I'll just see what this feels 112 00:08:22,599 --> 00:08:25,599 like. 113 00:08:25,879 --> 00:08:32,080 Whoa. Okay. So, that's that's funny. 114 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:36,959 That's funny because when I ran in eco mode with it powered 115 00:08:34,680 --> 00:08:40,399 on, it felt like I was just running normally and I was like, "This is fine. 116 00:08:38,479 --> 00:08:46,000 This is okay." And then running just now, I was like, "Why am I so weak?" 117 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:50,320 Like I'm not joking. I'm not joking. I was kind of like what? It's like I 118 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:53,920 forgot how to run for a second. So now I'm going to power it on and become 119 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,920 myself 120 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:04,800 again. Yeah, it's okay. That's, you know, honestly, it's a little it's a 121 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:08,880 little it's a little weird. It's it's easier to run with 122 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:12,399 this. And maybe it's because when I'm running with it powered off, I have this 123 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:18,320 thing on me. But again, you know, it's not very heavy. It just feels like I'm wearing a 124 00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:23,279 fanny pack backwards. You know, the cool way. One more time on that circuit in 125 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,279 power in a hyper 126 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:35,760 mode. Yeah, that feels good. So, the Pro 127 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:42,080 X is able to kind of keep up with my movements because it has this AI based 128 00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:48,279 motion engine in it. So, it's kind of got some models of how people walk and 129 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:53,200 it's adapting to how you move to kind of like predict your next move. I'm going 130 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:57,360 to move my leg up and then it kind of keeps moving for a second after I stop 131 00:09:55,279 --> 00:10:02,080 moving cuz it's like, yeah, humans don't do weird stuff like this. This doesn't 132 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:07,760 it's not what they do. So, you can have it automatically kind of adapt to what 133 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:10,480 you're doing or you can enable a 134 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:16,640 specific mode in the app. There are separate modes for walking, going up 135 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:21,920 hills, upstairs, gra all these other things. Or you can just set that to auto 136 00:10:20,079 --> 00:10:25,200 uh and it'll, you know, that that's preferable rather than opening your app 137 00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:29,200 every 2 seconds depending on whether you're going up or downstairs. But for 138 00:10:27,279 --> 00:10:36,959 this purpose, I'm going to enable upstairs mode just to 139 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:36,959 see. Wow. Okay. This 140 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:43,680 is I feel like that was It's Look at 141 00:10:40,560 --> 00:10:43,680 this thing wanting to 142 00:10:46,519 --> 00:10:51,760 move. See, but like even when I stop moving, it's kind of like, are you sure 143 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:58,640 you want to stop moving though? You could get even more healthy than you are. Okay. Activate downstairs mode. Oh, 144 00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:05,680 this is experimental though, so watch out. Hypershell says that this can give 145 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:09,440 me up to a 40% boost in leg strength, up 146 00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:12,399 to a 30% reduction in physical exertion, 147 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:19,440 and offset 30 kilos, which is about 60 lbs or so of weight. Um, 148 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:22,880 so I do actually feel like I'm light as a feather right now. This is kind of 149 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:27,040 interesting till it kind of like activate the most power. You have to do 150 00:11:24,959 --> 00:11:31,120 a big motion and then it'll start moving. But then if I just do little 151 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:34,519 moments, little movements, it'll just be like, "Oh, you're just wiggling." It's 152 00:11:33,279 --> 00:11:38,399 not here to help you wiggle. Even though that seems to be my 153 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:42,560 primary thing that I want to do with it. You want to race? Yeah. Yeah. Quick 154 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:47,120 note, while you're just walking normally, you probably want to not be in 155 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:53,839 max power mode because it is wanting me to walk like this. Ready? Here we go. 156 00:11:50,399 --> 00:11:53,839 Three, two, 157 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:59,480 one. I haven't run. 158 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:08,160 I haven't run in so long. I feel like you you had a better start. One more 159 00:12:04,560 --> 00:12:11,880 time. One more time. Okay. Ready? Three, 160 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,880 two, one. 161 00:12:15,959 --> 00:12:21,839 Okay, I was closer. 162 00:12:18,959 --> 00:12:26,800 Do you see that? I kept up with him that time. You just have a better You have 163 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:29,040 better acceleration. 164 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:33,680 Oh, what? You guys drove to the other Labs building? I just ran and it was no 165 00:12:31,680 --> 00:12:37,680 problem in a little bit of rain because this thing has IP54 dust and water 166 00:12:36,079 --> 00:12:42,240 resistance. So, it can handle that no problem. Okay, so let's 167 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:45,880 just Now, Hypershell says the Pro X can 168 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:48,560 handle a temperature range of 60° C to 169 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:51,680 -20°. So, it was a little cold outside. This thing would have been fine, but I 170 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:56,160 would not have been. I wanted to come inside to see whether the logistics team 171 00:12:54,160 --> 00:13:00,720 needs any help, you know, lifting things cuz I'm so strong now. So, you know, 172 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:04,399 headquarters thought that you guys could use a little bit more muscle uh to move 173 00:13:02,959 --> 00:13:08,000 stuff around. So, they've, you know, brought me in to kind of see whether you 174 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:12,880 got any heavy stuff that needs kicking or Oh, you can kick those. It's play 175 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:17,279 sand. I'm going to go max power. Is that okay, Alex? Just careful though. I have 176 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:19,519 to warm up. See, now it's now it's helping 177 00:13:21,079 --> 00:13:27,040 me. That was actually I think it helped. 178 00:13:25,839 --> 00:13:30,320 So, this is going to help. This is helping you. I'm helping. Yeah. Yeah. If 179 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:33,320 you if you get it out of here, you're helping. 180 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:43,639 Well, now it doesn't really feel Now it feels the same as as holding a bin of 181 00:13:39,519 --> 00:13:43,639 sand. But let's see here. 182 00:13:43,680 --> 00:13:49,440 So, we've used eco mode and hyper mode and transparent mode, but there's 183 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:55,279 actually a fourth mode on here called fitness mode. And this does the exact 184 00:13:53,200 --> 00:14:00,160 opposite of what you would expect and want an exoskeleton to do most of the 185 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:07,279 time. It makes things harder so that you can work out and have some resistance. 186 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:12,079 I'm already feeling it and I feel like it's already it's it's betrayed me. 187 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:16,639 Before it helped and now it's it's stopping me. I'm at 25% power, but just 188 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:23,320 because I'm not going to use this for very long or I'll die, I'm going to move 189 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:26,800 it to 100% power. Oh 190 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:28,240 man, I feel like I'm Okay, that's really 191 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:32,720 interesting. I feel like I'm waiting through water. Like there's heavy 192 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:37,800 resistance right now. Or not maybe not water, but like 193 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:43,680 mud. If you want to make people excited online with your thick thighs, then this 194 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,680 is the way to do it. 195 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,760 Oh, hey. Hey 196 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:58,160 guys, this is Yeah, this would this would definitely, you know, it's not 197 00:14:55,680 --> 00:15:03,199 going to help with uh many other muscle groups, I feel like, but with with for 198 00:15:00,639 --> 00:15:08,959 your thighs. Yeah, big time. I'll say as well uh some people have said 199 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:10,800 that there's a greater force on the top 200 00:15:08,959 --> 00:15:17,519 of your thigh than there is on the back of your thigh for both like when it's 201 00:15:14,079 --> 00:15:19,480 both helping you and hindering you on 202 00:15:17,519 --> 00:15:23,680 purpose in fitness mode. Like there's greater resistance 203 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:27,920 when I lift my leg up than when I put it down. It's a lot easier to go back than 204 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:32,639 it is to go forward. So anyways, I'm going to turn that off. But that option 205 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:37,440 is there if you're serious about getting thick. And I forgot to mention the app 206 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:42,320 has some stats for you to check out. Uh there's the battery percentage you can 207 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:44,639 check on. The 5.7 mi is the range that's 208 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:49,040 left with this battery charge. Uh it showed my speed, which is why I was just 209 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:53,800 testing it right there. And then down here we got your steps, the number of 210 00:15:50,639 --> 00:15:56,560 steps and elevation gain, 211 00:15:53,800 --> 00:16:01,600 which I think was when I jumped that high. exoskeleton helped a lot there. Uh 212 00:16:00,079 --> 00:16:06,440 oh, and it's got a graph showing you like a how you've used the battery over 213 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:11,920 time. So, that's all there. Pretty cool. Okay, so I've been wearing this 214 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:13,440 thing for about 2 hours uh so far, and 215 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:19,519 according to the app, we've gone down in battery by about 20%. Now, I wasn't 216 00:16:16,399 --> 00:16:21,839 running the entire time, thank God. But 217 00:16:19,519 --> 00:16:27,279 if I was, uh Hypershell says that I could cover 17 1/2 km uh on a single 218 00:16:25,519 --> 00:16:32,000 battery. they really believe in me. But if I had completely lost it and I just 219 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:41,199 wanted to keep running, uh the motor is rated for up to 2,000 km of constant use 220 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:43,040 if I have 115 batteries that uh I can 221 00:16:41,199 --> 00:16:46,240 swap out constantly while running. You know, don't get don't get ideas in your 222 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:49,920 head. All right, I've had a lot of fun moving around in this thing today, but 223 00:16:47,759 --> 00:16:54,800 I'm not exactly what you'd call the target market here. Uh, Hypershell is 224 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:59,680 one of the leaders in this powers suit industry, and they apparently have 225 00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:01,440 10,000 active users, all of whom 226 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:05,919 probably have at least two Patagonia jackets. So, take their word for it. So, 227 00:17:03,279 --> 00:17:11,439 these things start at $799. The model we have here, the Pro X, is $9.99. And if 228 00:17:09,439 --> 00:17:15,520 you're interested, if you own a couple Patagonia jackets yourself, the link is 229 00:17:13,679 --> 00:17:18,880 in the description. Check it out. And thanks again to Hypershell for 230 00:17:16,799 --> 00:17:22,160 sponsoring this video. I have work to do at the other building. So, I'm just 231 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:26,240 going to just do a powered run back. Okay. See you later. Okay. Hey, thanks 232 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:29,280 for watching.
